The fact of the matter is the groundwork for the invasion of Iraq was laid down in the Project for a New American Century in the mid 90´s...Take a look at the signatures ....Rumsfield, Cheney and many of the most influential members of the Bush administration.
As to the American people electing him again. He was NEVER elected. There is ample evidence of massive fraud and voter supression of the 2004 vote. Kenneth Blackwell promised to deliver the vote, and it certainly appears he did. Add to that various electronic vote methods....and the 2004 election hardly looks to be without suspicion.
Free speech zones? Wasn´t the whole country supposed to be a free speech zone?
Need I say anything about your comment, "So the power of the US is on a downward slide. Fine. Then somebody else better pick up the slack,....." ??? Just what is your point? When was it acceptable to be a policeman to the world of soverign countries? Don´t you understand what soverign means? We have more than enough issues at home to deal with.
As for secular government...there has been massive effort to undermine that with the Republicans as of late. Why on earth was Obama forced to claim he´s a Christian? How about all of Bush´s "Faith Based" funding? Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell got massive amounts of money from it....secular?
Not to mention they also found white powder that is used for chemical weapons....let me remind you a nerve gas in which he killed his own people with. If you believe that this evil man was not going to hurt anyone other than his own people...well I beg to differ.
here you go, one of the example of politness 
But December 30th may work. I need some peace......
